Current court rulings require that judges assess the forensic value of expert testimony to ensure that an expert's opinions are methodologically sound and based on scientific research. Under rigorously-controlled laboratory conditions, mechanically-induced simulated human bite marks were made on a pig model in-vivo as a substitute for human skin. An instrument was designed to allow the production of human bite marks on skin using a controlled and quantifiable force. In the pilot study, the device was constructed as a fixed single dentition making experimental ante mortem and post mortem bite marks injuries in-vivo. This enabled evaluation of the dimensional stability of bite marks as well as the clinical and histopathological studies of bite marks made at different times. For the expert assessment study, a new device was designed to allow multiple interchangeable dentitions for experimental ante mortem and post mortem bite marks injuries in-vivo. This study was focussed on the determination of the accuracy of examiners in distinguishing the correct dentition that may have made the bite mark.

520 $a Current court rulings require that judges assess the forensic value of expert testimony to ensure that an expert's opinions are methodologically sound and based on scientific research.

This study was focussed on the determination of the accuracy of examiners in distinguishing the correct dentition that may have made the bite mark.
520 $a Clinical observations demonstrated that bite mark samples are not dimensionally stable over time. The most stable and detailed bite marks were made in a window of time close to death. The effect of livor mortis masks the pattern characteristics in the tissue and it would be presumptuous to make any determination as to whether a bite mark injury was made before of after death. When it is difficult to impossible to comment on the clinical status of a bite mark in relation to time of death, histopathological studies provide a reliable alternative regarding determination of injury relative to time of death. The study also demonstrated that training and certification of professionals in cases of bite mark injuries is important to the successful outcome of the analysis. Nevertheless even if "experts" can make mistakes in their conclusions, they must ensure that the techniques used are based on scientific principle and the conclusions they present to the court should be regarded as a valuable tool to promote justice.
